ankhtahr:
you guys forget about how creepy the person who discovered that it's possible to get milk from a cow must have been. Especially when a large portion of the people used to be lactose intolerant.
KOK:
Why does Dora wear ear plugs? Eventually I realized that that was not what Tai meant.
celticgeek:
Quote from somewhere or other: "The guy who ate the first oyster must have been SOME hungry."

Creepy? Why? Humans used to live in close proximity to cows, sheep, goats, pigs etc. Anyone who observed a calf suckling from a cow would have noticed that it is exactly the same process as a human baby suckling from its mother.
Jonathan Swift supposedly wrote: "He was a bold man that first ate an oyster", but archeological evidence from middens and so on demonstrates that our ancestors ate all sorts of improbable things. The seasonal hatching of the Bogong Moth was a bonanza for Native Australians, for example, but its really no different from eating prawns. Potential starvation is a powerful spur to experimentation.
Is it cold in here?:
Anyone who's ever supervised a really young human can tell you they will put anything that will fit into their mouths. How we survived as a species is a perpetual mystery.
